Customer Review :
Actually have the case : Amazon Kindle Touch Lighted Leather Cover, Wine Purple
The reviews for this product are obviously mixed, and, ignoring the people who panned the product because they received a defective unit or decided it was taking too long to get to them, the divide in opinions can be, I think, explained by this single observation: the aesthetic sense driving the Kindle branded covers this year appears to have been the object known as a book. If, like me, that's what you wanted in a cover, you're going to be happy overall with the design, quality, and feel of this case. However, if you were expecting something else, then you are going to find much fault with the design. Since there have been myriad negative reviews for this product, I figured I'd structure my review around many of the more common gripes:
- On the weight: When I see people complaining at the weight, I wonder, "have these people ever read a real book?". The Kindle Touch 3G with this cover comes in just under 13 oz - not insubstantial, but not a lot either, and it's balanced nicely (you know, like a book). The Kindle and case together weigh about the same as a typical trade paperback (and less than an ~800 page mass market paperback). As a point of reference, the combined weight of a Kindle Touch 3G and the cover is still less than that of a naked iPad, Kindle Fire, B&N Nook Tablet, B&N Nook Color, or even a bottle of beer. Oh, and Stephen King's The Stand in hardcover? 3.6 lbs. The weight is not an issue.
- On the absence of a closure: I've read a lot of books over the past four decades, including some college text books that cost in the same vicinity as the Kindle and cover combined, and not a one of those books came with any sort of closure. And forget being made of anything remotely durable, those things were made of the flimsiest of construction materials: 100% paper and, if you were lucky, a little pressed hardboard. So, I'm not seeing the issue of the "missing" closure. I'll go one step further and argue it's a plus since it mimics a book more closely. A Kindle in this case deliberately packed in a bag is going to be protected just fine. You want to treat your Kindle like a $0.25 library book fair paperback? Get a fully enclosed sleeve and stop complaining that a book style cover is like a book.
- On the cost: Considering the materials, construction, and function, I wouldn't think this cover could cost more than $40. If Amazon is taking too much of a loss on the Kindles themselves, blatantly abusing their temporary monopoly on this sort of integrated lighting solution and over charging is not the proper way to make up the difference.
- On the leather and feel of the case: Too many people here seem to be confusing expectation, perception, and reality. They expected something like the Kindle 3 case, which was more of leather portfolio or women's wallet styled case, and so they're disappointed. They perceive the case to be cheap because it's shiny, mostly smooth, and somewhat stiff. Here's the reality: I have some genuine leather bound books, and they're shiny, mostly smooth, and the leather is thin and stretched over the hardboard underneath, not unlike the styling of this case. However, leather on this case is much higher quality than I've seen used for a book cover. It won't have you purring like Ricardo Montalban about "soft Corinthian leather", but it is fine. Yes, the leather is going to become weathered and worn, but so don't leather bound books; it's what leather does.
- On the durability and quality of the light: This is not a military grade light. If you give it a solid whack while the light is raised that will likely be the end of your $60 cover and light combination. Of course, this should have been obvious from the pictures, so I'm not sure where the sense of surprise and disappointment is coming from in these reviews. Otherwise, the design is functional and, barring a freak accident, I don't foresee problems. The light does a good job of illuminating the whole screen and is neither too dim nor too bright and doesn't spill over to bed mates too annoyingly. One thing that is worth mentioning, and has annoyed some reviewers, is that the light is not particularly recessed and some of the light will be visible at many common viewing angles. The design should have been better, but the lens does a very good job of directing the light downward so it's not actually shining in your eyes except at some arguably extreme viewing angles - it's not perfect, but it's nowhere as bad as some have claimed.
Conclusion: If what you want is a cover that closely replicates the feel of a genuine leather bound book and has a functional, integrated lighting solution, this is your best (and, for now, only) bet. I personally really like it. I only gave it 4 stars mainly because the cost is ridiculous (I have limited edition leather bound books that cost half as much as this case), and partially because I feel the light should have been more recessed in its hood. On the other hand, if what you want is something soft, or something that is going to protect a Kindle carelessly tossed in the gym bag, no, this is not the case for you. I know the fact that it's the only integrated lighting solution available for now makes it tempting, but just give it a pass if you aren't totally sold on the bit about replicating the feel of a leather bound book. There will be alternative solutions available in a few months and cheap book lights are plentiful during the holiday shopping season. There's no reason to drop $60 for something you don't want. Otherwise, it does what its supposed to do. It's not perfect, but it is very good. Please Check Update Here!!
